Once he made his way on stage, Jamie talked about how difficult it was for him to tackle his character in Robin Hood. "Every role has it's difficulties and sometimes when you set a precedence of what you want to be and how you want to perform — I've always said I've wanted to have all of my characters sort of hung up on a close line and look back at them," he said. "And this was challenging in the fact that we we're taking an old story — and wanted to make it completely different."
